Oh yeah by far there is no doubt that the USA is the best country at Basketball, I mean it's one of those sports like Americn Football that is just a part of Americans from birth. It's not really the same in the UK, for example. We do have Basketball leagues here in the UK (fucking Newcastle stole our team) but as you can imagine as there isn't much money in it, no TV deals and other sports in the UK that are just more popular Basketball's popularity is limited.

I guess it's like what soccer is in the US.
